At first, he wanted to invite her to join his guild so that Eros could keep an eye on her, but fairies were a good option too, and the buildings were not far from each other. And if she needed anything, she could come to him anytime. The titan also finally handed her the Capricorn key, fulfilling Leila's last wish.

They reached Magnolia quickly, without mishap. Eros returned to the guild after saying goodbye to everyone, but before he could even cross the threshold, he suddenly froze. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
- That was too long, I didn't expect you to take so long to absorb that weak demon... - and the next moment the titan disappeared.
Half an hour later. Era. Council Hall.
There were ten people in the hall, quietly listening to the old man, nodding and agreeing with his words.
- ...and that's unheard of! They blew up the Anibas railway station! I demand they be punished to the fullest extent of the law!
- But they saved a lot more people than that," said Urtir in defence.
- I agree with Miss Urtir, it wasn't the Fairy Tail mages who were at fault, it was the dark guild of Eisenwald. The report says it all, and there were plenty of witnesses that confirmed that the dark guild mages were the first to attack, and the Tail Fey were defending themselves," Yajima said with a slight smile, looking at his angry colleague.
- And how did this guild get their hands on such a powerful dark artefact in the first place? - And as I know, this artefact was sealed in one of the departments of the Magical Council and only a few people knew about it. And that means only one thing, someone among the higher ranks is leaking information... - and all the old men began to look at each other suspiciously
- Stop it! Now we are discussing what to do with the Fairy Tail, and the question of "spies" in our ranks, we will discuss at the next meeting ...
At that moment, a strong wind blew and the doors to the hall opened sharply. Right in the centre of the hall, Eros appeared.
- How dare you barge in...! - exclaimed one of the old men with rage, but he was prevented from speaking by his colleagues sitting next door, who closed his mouth.
- 'Urthir, it's time, she's finally finished,' Eros said with a warm smile, looking into the shocked eyes of the girl who jumped to him the next moment.
- Can we finally get started? - She asked with excitement in her voice.
- Yes, let's go... - taking Urthir's hand, a stream of wind surrounded them and they disappeared.
- I have a strange feeling... It's like this has happened before... - Yajima spoke thoughtfully.
- Why do we have to put up with that bastard! - The old man jumped up from his seat and exclaimed.
- Maybe it's because he's one of the strongest mages on the continent, and he's backed by seven light guilds, and not a weak one, and the King himself..." said another old man with a sneer.
- Shit! I'm gonna put that bastard away someday!
- Good luck in your endeavour....

Urthir was very excited to hear that they could finally resurrect her mum.
Still, over the years, she'd had a lot to think about and realised she'd been a fool. How could she even think that her own mother had abandoned her?!
But still, there was a little worm of doubt in her, which was why Urtir was so eager to meet her and find out from her.
Of course, over the years, she had tried to investigate the matter herself. But all the data on the Bureau of Magic Improvement had been erased, and the one who had done it was Brain, the head of that very place.
But he disappeared a long time ago and there's almost nothing known about him, except that he founded his own guild, Oracion Seis, which is part of the Balam Alliance.
The Balam Alliance is an alliance between the three most powerful and influential dark guilds. It includes guilds such as: Tartaros, Grimoire Heart and Oracion Seis.
Although they are called an alliance, but in reality, they do not contact or help each other in any way. Their alliance is nothing but a pact of non-aggression and non-interference in each other's affairs.
And while Urthir thought about something of her own, Eros frowned more and more.
"It's definitely not Margaret that way... Did someone move the statue? But why?"
- Is something wrong? - The girl asked worriedly, noticing the change in the titan's face.
- No... Everything is fine, in ten minutes we will be at the place, I was just thinking about meeting my future mother-in-law, what will I say? - the girl heard the words of Eros and smiled softly against his chest.
Ten minutes later they flew over the ocean and an island appeared on the horizon.
- "Here we are," but as they approached the island, Eros stopped abruptly and narrowing his eyes, he looked up at the sky and later at the island itself, "Demons... And so many... Yes and that strange 'film' over the island... What's going on anyway?"
- Eros...
- We'll deal with it later, first we'll find the statue... - the titan accelerated and in a couple of seconds they hovered on a small temple, which was in a rather deplorable state, built in the form of a pyramid. Since it was daytime, they were able to get a good look at it.
- Is she here? - Urthir asked in surprise when they landed on top of the temple.
The girl came to a small hole in the roof and looking through it, she could see nothing but a small glow coming from down below.
- The statue is underneath us... - as he approached the hole and looked down, he noticed a piece of ice, - Underneath the temple, so come here, I'll guide us down, - and as soon as she hugged him, a white cube appeared around them, which came in contact with the stone floor and began to destroy it quickly.
They reached the bottom quickly enough and found themselves on the head of an ice statue of a demon. And around them, they were surrounded only by stone walls and glowing crystals.
- What is this place?
- I wish I knew... - the titan thoughtfully stretched out, looking under his feet, - Okay, we'll figure it out later, now let's start the "resurrection".
Jumping down from the frozen demon, Eros took out a ring with a small heart-shaped crystal from his inner pocket and put it on.
- Give me your hair and your mother's hair, and some of your magic, - to create a body, first of all you needed Ur's DNA and some of her magic, but they didn't have the latter, so Eros solved this problem by taking it from Urtir, as she was her daughter and their magic was at least 50% similar.
Eros closed his eyes and the book appeared next to him, it opened abruptly and in the next moment warmth started to emanate from it, which was increasing with every second. But neither Urtir nor Eros was affected by it, because the titan had already taken care of it long ago, putting fire resistance runes on all his clothes, as well as erecting several barriers around them.
And as the ice began to melt, Urthir looked at Eros in shock. The girl had also mastered this magic, passed down from her mother, and knew all about the Ice Coffin spell and how strong the ice was. And what she saw in front of her made her both horrified and... aroused. After all, it was her man doing something that none in the entire time this spell had been created, had been able to do.
As the Ice melted, Eros opened a small bottle and threw it at the ice statue. The ice statue collided with it, bounced off and fell to the ground, but in the next moment, it soared and began to absorb the moisture from the melting statue.
"Even this flame will take time, I didn't think the flame of the Flame Bearer would take so long to melt this ice..."- Sighing, the titan crouched down, covered his eyes and began to absorb Aether from the air. Still, even Eros, with his enormous amount of Magic Power and terrifying recovery rate, had to spend 1.90% of his magic power per minute to support the flames, yet he still had time to recover the same percentage.
- Eros..." Urthir said worriedly, seeing the titan's frowning face.
- It's alright...
At that moment, a surprised voice resounded throughout the cave.
- What's going on!!! Where is this heat coming from?! - Three mages, a girl and two guys ran into the hall.
- The ice is melting?! - A guy with a cat face exclaimed in shock.
- How is that possible, since only a moon drop can deal with it! - added a girl in a gothic dress with pink long hair, -Should we intervene?
- Why? - A guy with wide blue eyebrows grinned, -Let them keep melting, it's better for us, go call Mr Reitei, I think he'll be happy if the demon is released sooner.
- Ah... Okay," she ran out of the room, embarrassed.
At the same time, Urthir noticed the uninvited guests and was ready to fight at any moment.
- Calm down, they won't disturb us.
- What makes you think that?
- You forget that I can hear very well and from their conversation, I understood that they want to free the demon, but for what purpose, it is unclear, - said Eros without turning round.
After hearing these words, Urtir relaxed a little, but did not lose sight of them, and followed them closely.
Five minutes later, the girl who had run away and a man wearing a long white cloak with a large collar with gold edges and fur trim on the shoulders entered the hall. As well as a silver helmet with a pair of striped horns pointing forwards and a large crest of long woolen fur falling down his back.
But compared to the others, who were very cheerful, he had a very oppressive feeling. After all, he was not a stupid person and realised that if someone was able to melt this ice with their own strength, they must be a very powerful mage.
Since the Ice Coffin forms the strongest ice that doesn't melt and the only thing that can dispel it is the Moon Drop spell. Which can dispel all magic.
- Who are you?
